Luanda, December 12, 2024 – Banco Millennium Atlântico has strengthened its commitment to financial inclusion and female empowerment by joining the 10,000 Women Online global program, an initiative of the IFC and Goldman Sachs. The partnership was made official during the Africa Financial Summit (AFIS), held in Morocco from December 9 to 10, with the motto "Beyond Capital – Empowering Women Entrepreneurs".
